Matt Dillon In Our Living Room

This was a photo session for Super Teen Magazin in 1980. Back then, you would just ring up the stars and ask for a photo shoot. Most of the time you got the session and it was a breeze. This was before Glam Squads and officious little publicists. There were no over produced photos. Like with this classic photo of Matt Dillon, you just stuck them up against the wall and shoot them with one or two strobe heads. That was the elegance of photography back then. Good luck getting a session like this today. It is interesting, if we had our choice to do a session with someone like a Brad Pitt today or to photograph them on the street Paparazzi style, we would go for the Hose Down. Why? It is in vogue and it is what sells today. Can you believe that Buzz Foto was getting these sessions almost three decades ago?
